Hello everyone,

I hope someone here can help identify the purpose of this 25 cm long spoon with a dip on the handle. I suspect it might be an apothecary spoon, but I’m not entirely sure. Additionally, I'm curious about its origin. While I believe it may come from Germany, I'm uncertain about the specific city it might be from.







Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all in advance! 😊

Best regards,
